Cedon P Drop

Introduction

Cedon P is a prescription medication that contains two active ingredients: Cefpodoxime Proxetil and Lactobacillus. It is commonly prescribed by healthcare professionals to treat certain bacterial infections and promote a healthy balance of bacteria in the body.

Uses

Cedon P is primarily used to treat various bacterial infections caused by susceptible organisms. These may include respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, and certain types of sexually transmitted infections. Note that this medication is effective only against bacterial infections and does not work for viral infections such as the common cold or flu.

Dosage and Administration

follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare professional. The recommended dose of Cedon P may vary depending on the age, weight, and severity of the infection. Generally, the medication is administered orally, and the drops should be measured using the provided dropper. Shake the bottle well before each use and ensure accurate measurement of the prescribed dose.

Mechanism of Action

Cefpodoxime Proxetil, one of the active ingredients in Cedon P, is an antibiotic that belongs to the cephalosporin class. It works by interfering with the formation of the bacterial cell wall, leading to the weakening and eventual destruction of the bacteria. Lactobacillus, on the other hand, is a beneficial bacteria that helps maintain a healthy balance in the gastrointestinal tract.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, and headache. These side effects are usually mild and resolve on their own. However, if any of these side effects persist or worsen, seek medical attention.

Serious side effects are rare but may include severe allergic reactions, such as rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing. If you experience any of these symptoms, seek immediate medical assistance.

Some medications may interact with Cedon P, potentially affecting its effectiveness or increasing the risk of side effects.

Before using Cedon P, inform your healthcare professional if you have any allergies, especially to cephalosporin antibiotics. Additionally, disclose your medical history, including any kidney problems or gastrointestinal disorders. Follow the prescribed dosage and complete the full course of treatment to ensure the effectiveness of the medication.
